fastobo-validator
Faultess validation tool for OBO products.
fastobo-validator
is a command-line tool to validate an OBO file in format
version 1.4 against the latest specification.
fastobo-validator
is distributed as a pre-built binary for the following platforms:
* Linux x86-64 -
stable version -
development version
* OSX x86-64 -
stable version -
development version
Simply download the archive, and unpack the fastobo-validator
binary somewhere in your $PATH
.
For other OS (notably Windows), you'll need to build the binary from source. Make sure to have the
Rust compiler installed (check the installation methods)
and simply run cargo install fastobo-validator
to install the binary in your $CARGO_HOME
folder.
The syntax of the OBO format version 1.4 has been made more restrictive compared
to the format version 1.2, but files produces by modern tools (such as ROBOT
)
should already be compliant with this version.
-I
)ISBN identifiers embed a validation digit which can be used to validate a given
code without querying an external database. Enabling this validation check will
process all ISBN
-prefixed identifiers for a valid ISBN. It will not check
ISBN10
or ISBN13
-prefixed identifiers.
Simply run the binary against one or more OBO files:
console
$ fastobo-validator go.obo
The validator will then parse and validate each OBO product, and return with a non-null error code if any error was detected, displaying a small report for each error.
